I have never seen the original Planet of the apes film, what is wrong with me?

If people have not bothered to see some of the biggest movies in history by now...it means that you are simply not that big of a movie fan...simple as that.

[Mikey]

I have to agree

If somebody hasn't seen a real big old movie their whole lives i'm guessing they never will because they don't care to

[Hector]

Yep...

For me it was Cornelius & Barnabas Collins...here's how I combined the two for Halloween

First off, that Cornelabus (that's what I'm calling him) is awesome! Very, very cool!

I liked Barnabas a lot, too. My mom had an onyx ring I'd put on my index finger and creep around the house with. I was a weird kid!

^^Thank you!

I got the idea from the ending of the Burton film (the Lincoln Memorial scene). After the film was over I thought, "18th century Apes?...Barnabas was turned in 1795..." So that was that. Can't tell from the pic, but I carried the cane & wore the ring and the cloak is full length w/3 tiers. I tagged the character as Cornelius Collins, Parallel Simian Time. It was a fun character, he could be sophisticated one minute, evil the next, and at the drop of the hat he could go completely ape.

Nothing wrong with weird...at least I hope not

I was never a HUGE Planet of the Apes fan, but I must admit the first movie is a MUST SEE for EVERYBODY and ANYBODY.

Without a doubt it's the 60's Star Wars

... the rest of the Apes movies are "ok" but not MUST SEE's

Yup totally agree.....the first one is the must see.......

Avatar and Star Wars 1, 2, & 3. I've caught glimpses of Natalie Portman's white clad bottom that looks rather nice, but even that can't convince me to watch it...

[Hector]

Avatar is a hundred times better than the new Star Wars garbage prequels...a hundred times.

The ONLY thing of note in those awful movies is Darth Maul...that's it.

Portman was HORRIBLE in those prequels...just HORRIBLE...and EMBARRASSING.

I blame Lucas of course...but she gets some blame too for going along with his insipid direction.

You think I'm exaggerating?

Take a look at this scene...Keira Knightley was also dragged down by Lucas...

oh my god!!

You sound like "The Old Man" from Pawn Stars!!!

I also have never seen Avatar. I also very much agree that nothing is lost from watching Planet of the Apes as an adult. I have seen it multiple times as a kid and as an adult. From a kid's perspective; I loved the syfy, actions sequences, etc. As an adult; I really enjoyed the ingenious plot that I didn't quite grasp as a kid. To me, it is similar to reading "Alice In Wonderland" as a kid and as an adult. Two completely different stories.

[HardyGirl]

I didn't see Avatar and I didn't want to. I thought it looked dumb. *ducks*

[Mikey]

As an adult, i've never been attacted to movies geared toward kids.

My generation kid's shows are different for me because of nostalgia.

But I don't get new kids movies and TV (and to be honest, I don't want to even try getting them)

All I can say, is that I envy U

Not even stuff like like Wall-e, or Up? I like a lot of the Pixar animated stuff.
